Masthead


I have decided for my magazine,
it is FOOD MAGAZINE!

I chose 'ROJAK' as my magazine masthead.
'ROJAK' is a Malay word, a traditional fruit and vegetable salad dish.
The term 'ROJAK' is mixture.
The reason why i used 'ROJAK' for my magazine masthead,
it is because i am going to introduce the cafe in Malaysia.
There's a lot of cafe in Malaysia.
Although some of the cafe are selling western food, 
but there are still cooked by Malaysian. :)

The masthead design i am trying: 

I'm trying with design the 'O'. I put the cafe name inside.



Use fork and spoon to make the 'O' special.




Try to circle the fork and spoon.


Trying with icon style.

And it's work!!
